| The
departure is from the 2 Stations square, called in this way because in front
of ARST Gestione FDS station there is also the one of Ferrovie dello Stato. Macomer is a lively town in a panoramic position on the southernmost tip of the tableland of Marghine. Shortly after leaving there is a fork: the public transport line stands on the east towards Nuoro and the tourist line on the west to the sea and Bosa. After going under a bridge of the Ferrovie dello Stato line the train runs across a landscape characterized by large stretches of pastureland, limited by dry walls, with oak trees and scarce undergrowth, dominated by the strong and reassuring presence of nuraghes, such as the well preserved Succoronis, near the line on the right. Then the train arrives in the highest point of the line near the Bara stop (537 m) and from here the train proceeds in gradual and steady descent to the sea. The next stop is beside the Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria di Corte, commissioned in the 12th century by Gonario, Giudice-king of Torres. The train goes on parallel to the Rio Furrighesu, a tributary of the Temo river, as far as the station of Sindia. The sea can not still be seen but it can be imagined that it is not far cause the increasing brightness and the shape of the trees bent by the force of the mistral wind. The train is passing in another region: the Planargia. The landscape is more cultivated and flat and the little villages are very close to each other. The next station is that of Tinnura whose houses are practically joined to those of Suni and Flussio. Then there is Tresnuraghes station that is shared with Magomadas and Cuglieri a ten kilometres from here. For the first time it can be seen the sea in an open, bright horizon delimited by the rough profile of Capo Marrargiu to the north, the peninsula of Capo Mannu to the south with the nearby flat island of Mal'e Bentu (Bad Wind). Here is the most panoramic stretch of the trip: next comes the stop at Nigolosu and then the sharp bend of Nanio, in a dominating position over the coast. The train plunges towards the interior in a valley that is famous for the production of Malvasia, the excellent wine of the area. Past the station of Modolo the line stands towards the sea and the pebbly beach of Turas. The train runs around a wide bend to the right and advances up to a few metres from the waterline. In a little time it will reach the line terminus at Bosa Marina station, in front of the mouth of the Temo river. |
